Reiser4 File-System Shows Decent Performance On Linux 3.10

Phoronix: Reiser4 File-System Shows Decent Performance On Linux 3.10

With quite some time having passed since we last benchmarked the Reiser4 file-system, to end out July we have some fresh benchmarks of Reiser4 from the newly released patches for the Linux 3.10 kernel. There's fairly good performance out of the experimental file-system when compared to the original ReiserFS as well as EXT4, Btrfs, and XFS.

I still ask myself if a striped down btrfs
(called for example breiser)
would have
- all the man-powered performance
- all the kernel.org demanded code stylishness
and be essentially a true reiser4 filesystem
as the underlying technique is the same.

Why test an out of tree driver that basically everyone already wrote off ?
Yes it once was very promising and possibly ahead of it's time, and i used it a lot back then, but even back then it was already quite a pain to keep up to date. Then the stuff with Hans started and it soon became even more painful so i jumped ship.
No one will ever start using it again unless it gains more development power, becomes part of the default kernel and possibly even a name change.

Why try and keep pushing something that everyone already wrote off and ignore the next big thing time and time again (ZFS). I seriously don't understand.
